Census estimate lowers Bakersfield dispatch contract to $17,325
Summary
Board members reviewed the dispatch contract and noted the Census estimate of the town population at 1,155, which reduces the town's dispatch contract cost to $17,325 versus prior-year figures.
Selectboard members reviewed the dispatching contract and the population figure used to calculate the per-capita cost for town services.
Chair (S1) told the board that "the census bureau estimated population of town of Bakersfield at 11 55, which will result in the contract cost of $17,325." Members noted that payroll and other expenses affected the final figure but that the population decrease produced a cost savings compared with prior calculations.
The discussion also touched on timing and how to present the updated dispatch figure in the budget book. Members asked staff to confirm the printout and reconcile the payroll-related percentages before final insertion into the budget document.
